[QUOTE="VWBobby, post: 7187973, member: 624844"] No offense, but your dad definitely needs to brush up on his car audio... I was really into CA back in 92-'03 but a lot has changed since then. Everything I knew about brands is pretty much out the window these days. The big mainstream brands still produce a few top of the line models, but they are pricey and not any better (if not worse) than most of the "underground" brands. If someone would've bragged about having Sundown, FI, DC several years ago I would've laughed in their face.

You can get a lot more clean sound before clipping, better efficiency, and longer life out of your equipment this way. Just make sure you dial in your equipment so you don't overpower your subs (except on burps). [/QUOTE]
